JumpCloud vs OneLogin

JumpCloud is a cloud-native directory platform that unifies identity, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and device management in one console, positioned as an alternative to traditional on-premises Active Directory. IT teams use it to authenticate users into cloud and on-prem applications while also managing and patching the underlying Windows, Mac, and Linux devices those users work from. The platform is priced in feature packages, from device management up to full identity-and-device bundles, with higher Platform tiers adding SaaS management, zero trust access, and, more recently, governance controls extended to AI agent identities alongside human employees.

OneLogin is a cloud identity and access management platform that gives employees one secure login to reach all their corporate applications through a unified SSO portal. It supports SAML, OIDC and other federation standards, syncs with Active Directory and LDAP directories, and layers on multi-factor authentication and adaptive risk-based policies to protect access without adding friction for end users.

• Full platform tiers require contacting sales
• Feature packaging can be confusing to configure
• A la carte add-ons increase per-user cost quickly

• Pricing is no longer published, requiring a sales conversation for even small teams
• Admin console can feel dated compared to newer identity platforms
